During our last community event, we engaged in an unplanned and unmanaged informal discussion like we love to hold in the community.

A discussion about foxes and tigers, about making sense of a complex world through metaphors, about philosophies of being and understanding their underlying systems. We also discussed how "design" activities today are made for "transactional" and "value extraction" systems and how this limits their applicability (or can be detrimental) to social and political systems.

### Thanks for reading, watching, and listening!

Thanks to all our community members, and a special thank you to Daiana & Matt 🙏
